Ghana’s Ampem Darkoa Ladies maintained their impressive form at the CAF Women’s Champions League with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Uganda’s Kawempe Muslim Ladies in their Matchday Two Group B encounter at the Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt, on Thursday.

Nancy Amoh gave Ampem Darkoa an early lead in the ninth minute, but Shadia Nabirye equalised for Kawempe in the 34th minute to send both sides into the break level.

With neither team able to find a breakthrough for much of the second half, Beline Nyarkoh emerged as the match-winner, scoring in the 84th minute to secure all three points for the Ghanaian champions.

The victory gives Ampem Darkoa six points from two matches, strengthening their chances of securing a place in the semi-finals.
